[fr] Résumé. – Le présent article analyse la crédibilité à reconnaître à l’alliance qu’aurait conclue le roi de Lydie Crésus avec la cité de Sparte. Cet examen se penche sur la consultation des oracles opérée par Crésus ainsi que le rôle joué par les offrandes du roi lydien en Grèce suite à celle-ci ; il étudie également le statut de Sparte en tant que la plus puissante cité en Grèce vers 550. Enfin, ces quelques pages tentent de préciser la nature des liens qui unissaient la cité de Lacédémone au roi lydien en comparaison de ceux qu’il entretenait avec les Delphiens. [en] Abstract. – This article analyses the credibility we have to recognize to the alliance that would have been concluded between the king of Lydia Croesus and the city of Sparta. This study focuses on the oracles consultation by Croesus and the role played by the Lydian king’s offerings in Greece following it. This article deals also with the status of Sparta as the most powerful city in Greece near 550 BC. Finally, those few pages try to establish the nature of the ties between Lacedaemon and the Lydian king in comparison to those he had with the Delphians.
